Students have asked these similar questions
A hydrogen atom makes a transition from the n=3 level to the n=2 level. It then makes a transition from the n=2 level to the n=1 level. Which transition results in emission of the longest wavelengths photon?
What is the energy in eV and wavelength in µm of a photon that, when absorbed by a hydrogen atom, could cause a transition from the n = 5 to the n = 9 energy level?   (a) energy in eV   (b) wavelength in µm
For a hydrogen-like atom (the atom contains only one electron, like singly ionized He, doubly ionized Lithium, etc.), the energy levels are given by En = -Z2(13.6)/n2 eV where Z is the atomic number. If an electron in a doubly ionized Lithium atom jumps from the 2nd excited state to the ground state, what would be the wavelength of the emitted photon? A) 3.21 nm                      B) 3.21 pm                      C) 6.42 pm                      D) none of these.
